Hanuman is one of the great heros of the Ramayana; the divine monkey, son of the wind, who helps Rama rescue his wife Sita, defeats the demon Ravana and his army, and destroys Lanka. As such, his yagyas bring the qualities of strength, power, devotion to a higher reality, support of dharma (natural law) and contentment.

Hanuman yagyas are particularly good for softening and balancing the influence of Rahu-Ketu and Saturn and for strengthening the protective influence of the planet Jupiter. According to the vedic tradition, the best time to influence the planets is just before or after they change signs, so this is the perfect month for Hanuman yagyas to soften the influence of these important planets, especially to strengthen benefic Jupiter.

Manyu Suktam is an ideal partner to the Hanuman yagyas. This mantra comes from the Rig Veda, 10th manala and consists of 14 verses that invoke Rudra (Shiva) to eliminate enemies, obstacles, and purify bad karmas and ill health. The text reads in part:

Come here Manyu, mightier than the mighty; chase away our enemy... bring to us all kinds of wealth and treasure. I may be small and weak, O Manyu come to me and give me vigour.

O Conquerer, born with power and a destructive bolt of thunder, the highest conquering might is yours...Unyielding bring victory like Indra, O Manyu...give us the wealth of both sides gathered and collected; And let our enemies with stricken spirits, overwhelmed with terror, creep away and be defeated. 

Please join us in this powerful and productive yagya series that is
especially valuable at this time of chaos and uncertainty.

Also Included are Daily Saturn Yagyas
January 19 to February 19

Using the system of vedic astrology, Saturn will be changing signs and moving from Sagittarius to Capricorn. This is an important transition because it means that Saturn will be in a sign that he owns, and therefore the influence will be stronger and somewhat more harmonious.

Additionally, Saturn wil be moving away from Ketu which leaves Ketu with Jupiter, an excellent situation for spiritual insight and practices. Jupiter will move back and forth between Sagittarius and Capricorn before finally settling into Capricorn in November 2021 with Saturn until April 2021. Ketu has been adding to the malefic qualities of Saturn and thankfully will leave Sagittarius in mid-September 2020.

These are encouraging changes and the time to maximize the beneficial effects of the planets is while the transitions are taking place. This month's Saturn program will provide a beneficial boost to the positive side of Saturn and minimize his ability to cause trouble in our lives.

Also Included is a Five Priest Yagya for the Total Lunar Eclipse on January 10
